on Lester Pard yesterday afternoon,
between the Second Ward and Fourth

keenly contested, both sides doing thei
"dOggoned" best to secure victory
which ultimately proved to be in favor
of the Second Warders. 1t may be
mentioned, however, that the Fourth

one goal for the Second Ward boys to
their opponents nil. The match was

An uIustrfous Artists Hard Lot.


The monument mania is raging in France,
and Cherbourg has caught it and will try to
erect q memorial of J. F. Millet, who was
born there. This cOmmendable project has
brought out many "reminiscences of the in.
Justice, neglect and wretchedness that were so
largely the illustriOus artists lot in life. For
example, it is told that one quarter day, his
rent being due and his purse, as usual, empty,
Millet succeeded in coaxing a picture dealer
to visit his studio to see if there was not some
thing there worth the $50 which be owed his
landlord. The dealer came, turned over can
vas after canvas superciliously, but at last
consented to give the sum required in ex-
change for three important works.
AS he laid the three 100 franc notes on the
table, Millet suddenly remembered that the
next day was his wifes fete. II should like
to invite few friends" he said eagerly
"could you not take something else, so that [
may have enough to pay for the dinner
The latter shrugged his shoulders, but the
poor painter was so pressing that he agreed
not without difficulty, to take sketch which
was on the easel for 81. "Vingt francs!"
sighed Milet, "maiS nous n'aurOus meme pas
de dessert" you wish dessert, replied
the dealer. well as you've got me in
generous mood, I'll give you ten francs for
that other sketch" And the bargain was
struck the dealer carrying it off for $2-the
dessert-a little gem that he sold afterward
for $500 1t is worth $4,000 tO-day.-New

Useful Broom Handles.

Do not throw away the worn out broom
handles. When you have three just alike,
make a pretty and useful reading table The
legs should be thirty-four inches long, with
the ends sawed off, standing in the OPP
posite directions, in order that the top may
fit and the ends stand firmly the floor
Cross the legs about thirteen inches from the
upper end and put a round headed screw
through two, being careful that it is not long
enough to go entirely through the second one;
then place the third one and put another
screw through. Do not put them in too
tightly until the legs are all together, as you
may need to move them out or III little, and
it is a good plan to put on the top before fin
ishing. The top should be fifteen inches
square; mark the places for the legs, at equal
distances apart, and about one and half
inches from the edge. If you are good at
such work it is better to cut out little OF the
wood, so that the legs il sink in an eighth
of an inch; then put screws through the top
into the legs. Cover the screw heads with
putty. The legs at the bottom should be
spread about six inches more than at the top,
otherwise it will tip easily. The legs may be
ebonized, gilded or stained any color to suit
the fancy. The top covered with felt and
trimmed with deep fringe put on with orna-
mental brass nails or ordinary cover is as
pretty and durable as anything. Cincinnati

GEN. B. F. BUFFERS WIFE.

Her Brief Stage Life Previous to Her
Marriagp-Death From Cancer.
Mrs. Butler, wife of Gen. B. F. Butler, was
daughter of DR.. Israel Hildreth, of Lowell,
and while on a visit to Brooklyn, n. Y, be-
came enarOred of the stage. After being
under the tuition of Mrs. Vernon she made
her debut Aug 10, 1889 at the Park theatre,
New York, as Mariana in "Ihe Wife" for
the benefit of Mr. Chippendale, and the fol
lowing season was engaged by Mr. William
Abbott for the Juvenile ladies in his theatres
in Charleston and Columbia, S. G. She
played the season in those two cities and
brief engagement in conjunction with Louis
Fitzgerald Tasstro at Savannah. She then
performed, under an engagement with j. M
Weston & Co., in Wilmington and Fayette
vile, N c.. and in Norfolk and Portsmouth,
Va, returning home from the latter place
She then played a brief engagement at the
Howard AthenRum in Boston.
In 1912 Mr. W. H. Chippendale engaged
her for the leading lady in the National thea
tire in Cincinnati, where she opened as Rosa
lind, in "As You Like It." but becoming ia
tigued with study, resigned her position after
three months. During this time she per
formed a star engagement at Louisville, and
received a complimentary benefit, appearing
as Ion. which was visited by the elite of Gin
cinnati, with whom she had large acQuaint-
ance. This was her last appearance as an
actress, and she was soon after married TO
Gen. Butler.
Mrs. Butler was excellent and worthy
lady, the devoted mother Of two sons and
daughter, and highly esteemed by all who
knew her. When the general was elected to
congress she made his home one of the pleas
ATTEST in Washington. and her parties were
among the most delightful Of the season. 1t
was then that she began to suffer from
swelling in her neck, and her friends were led
to suppose from her medical advisers at
Washington, that it was enlargement Of
the gland and could be operated upon sue,
cessfully. The general escorted her to Bos-
ton, where it was decided that she should be
taken to the Massachusetts General hospital
and submit to an operation. But on perform
ing this, the doctors found that instead of the
suffering proceeding from an enlargement of
the gland. a cancer was discovered, the roots
of which had encircled and penetrated the
windpipe, leaving but little space for the
functions of breathing to be carried on. The
doctors skill was baffled by the cancer, and
the general was informed that nothing could
be done to save his wife. She died few
days afterward, aged about 53.-Ben: Perley

MOROCCO % Sc onened Up.

Ii seems likely that Morocco is going to be
opened up at last. Not long since a Spanish
chamber of commerce was established at Tan
gier, and now the Spanish government is
about to send an embassy to the sultan with an
autograph letter from the queen regent. The
object OF the embassy is TO obtain general
g Bcessions from this somewhat impracticable
potentate and, among other things, TO seek
permission to construct a railway connecting
Tangier and Ceuta with Tetuan. The French
minister in Morocco Is als0 seeking to obtain
commercial advantages for his countrymen,
and is proposing to establish at Oudja a
bazaar where French goods can be exhibited.
Great credit is due to the American govern
1nent for having been the first to investigate
the abuses arising from the protection"
system: and since the arrival of the new
United States consul a week or two ago, a
considerable number of persons who had been
imprisoned in respect of claims from natives
who had placed themselves under American
protection have been liberated. A protected"
Moor or Jew at once ceased to be amenabIe
t. the native law, and was able to Cypress
h debtors pretty much as he pleased. But
there are many signs that these halcyon days

THE INTERISLAND CABLE.

The Minister of Finance, in his inter
mediate report for fifteen months, April
l, 1886 TO June 80, 1887, furnishes the
following information regarding the
Interisland cable:
The sos 900 appropriated for the Inter
island electric cable will not be required at
present. This matter stands as follows
Mr.. Audley COote, who has for many wears
been in negotiation with the Hawaiian
Government with regard to landing an
ocean cable to connect these Islands with
America on one side and with the AuStraI-
ian colonies on the other, made some defin-
lite propositions to the present Cabinet
early IN July last, as to the rate of charges,
asking for the exclusive privilege of land
ing cable for three years and the subsidy
of $40 900 per annum granted by the Act of
1884. On examining the different laws en-
acted on thus subject, it was found that
nothing could be concluded until further
bill should be passed by the Legislature.
and the Cabinet promised Mr.. Coote that
such bill would be introduced at It's first
session, enabling the Government to make
Il contract with him.
Amongst the propositions made in Mr.
COote's communication to me, dated July
?, 1887, are the following:
Il, undertaking, in conjunction with
Matthew Grey, who Is Managing Director
OF the Telegraph Cable Works Construc-
ton Company, to couple up the Hawaiian
Archipelago, that is. from Hawaii to
Kauai, at nominal cost, that is to say
merely charging for the actual cost of
material in the manufacture of cables and
we will lay these cables at our own cost,
and free from all charges to the Govern
ment"
Mr. Coote hopes to have the ocean
cable laid within two years, and when the
vessel which lands the ocean cable arrives
he would bring the interisland cable
freight free (if it be so agreed upon) and
his company would lay it between the
islands OF the group free of expense to
this Government.

An Elephant Trainers Mission.

George Arstingstall, the king of elephant
trainers, is on the way to India on one of the
most novel missionary enterprises ever I'M
dertaken. He has determined to strike out
on line of experiment that eclipses in bold
ness the carrying of Goals to Newcastle. He
has gone to India, the land of elephants, to
show the people there how to train the ami
mails that they have used for ages as beasts of
burden. He does not expect to be able to
teach them anything in the way of addition
ally utilizing the elephants in work. But he
is sure that he can show the mahout and the
rajah unsupported amusement possibilities in
the herd of elephants they use only in such
practical fashion as fetching and carrying.
The professor got this idea from the aston
ishment shown by the Burmese attendants
upon the sacred white elephant when they
first saw the performing elephants. He has
since learned that this sort of thing is IN
known in the elephant countries His plan is
to buy the animals they only cost about $500
there, and after educating them a little, to
sell them at comfortable advance to some
nabob who can afford to pay for a little
amusement. He thinks that he can do this
"over and over again. New York Sun.

Leprosy AT Cape Gown.

United States Consul Siler, at Cape
Town, has sent to the Department of
State an interesting report on leprosy in
South Africa He says that he has re-
Gently read in American papers accounts
of the existence of leprosy on the Pacific
Coast, with expressions of fear that the
disease may become widespread. This
fear, he says, is but natural, coming
from a country whose inhabitants have
heretofore enjoyed immunity from a
disease certainly the most loathsome
and most to be dreaded to which human
ity is heir. The first case of leprosy in
Cape Colony was introduced by Malay
slaves more than 100 years ago, but not
until 1915 was any attempt made by the
Government to stamp out the disease
Now there are thousands of Iepers there
The primary cause of leprosy," says
the Consul, "has never been determined,
and it is questionable whether it rises
spontaneously. That the disease is
hereditary no doubt seems to exist, and
that it is contagious is generally ad-
mitted by medical practitioners in this
country, a small majority even holding
it to be infectious
Il have seen a man at the asylum
with both hands and feet off. One of
the worst cases pointed out to me was
man with none of his face left, with the
exception of a portion of the lower jaw
and forehead, the nose, eyes, tongue and
cheek-bones having disappeared. He
was only living because the vital organs
had been numerically impaired. 1t has
been my lot to witness much human
misery and distress incident to war and
contagious epidemics, but have seen
nothing. nor do l believe it possible for
the mind to conceive anything so terri
BILE and abhorent as the awful picture
presented by a congregation OF lepers.
The disease is considered incurable,
although it NAV be kept in check for a
time by certain medicines and a liberal
supply of fatty foods. Colonial experts
agree that the spread of the disease can
be prevented, and that it can be stamped
out by stringent repressiye measures,
looking to the segregation of lepers"

the KaamakapiIi Church.

Last evening the basement OF kauma-
kapili Church was crowded in every
part with Hawaiians, who met for the
purpose of nominating Mobiles for the
coming election.
The meeting was called to order by
James Keau, and J. Alapai was elected
Chairman, and Enoch Johnson, Secre-
tarv. John Sheldon acted as inter
prefer
w. c. Achi explained the plans they
had laid out for the election Of Mobiles.
He said they wanted three qualified
voters from each ward, one of whom
must be foreigner, for delegates.
J. NJ. Poepoe said that he wanted
those nominated for Mobiles who were in
sympathy with their platform, so that
they could work together. Hawaiians,
ne said, should have the preference.
There were many well-to-do Hawaiians
who were eligible for the position. He
then read the following ticket, making
brief comments on each name: J. l.
Dowsett, ST., 5. q. Wilder, \. Young,
A. Marques, J. Keau, S. NJ. Kaaukai, A.

with the Hawaiians. Ii elected he
would do his utmost to promote the vel
fare of the people. Ii defeated, he would
still be their friend.
A K Palekaluhi stated his reasons
for becoming a candidate. He was in
favor of equal rights to all.
j. Keau said he had served as Rep
resentative for five terms, and was now
a candidate for election for Noble. He
would work hard to get their ticket
elected.
S. NJ. Kaaukai told the audience
several fables.
E K. Lilikalanl made a long address.
A committee had invited him to become
a candidate, and he had accepted. The
great talk of the times is the new Con-
stitution. If elected he would uphold
the dignity of the Throne, and he hoped
never to see Hawaii flag replaced.
A K. Kunuiakea spoke in both Eng
hsh and Hawaiian.
The delegates from the various wards
then took their seats. There were
twenty-seven altogether.
The following tellers were appointed:
